Kuknk/.kk, Aug. li?Politics this time wore raised on a higher plane than usual; the meeting was held on the second Hour of the Alliance Hall. Candidates hero are kept Amisy prasingj the many babies, admiring the line lands and deploring the bad crops of this, the Buck Swamp section. Tl .e meeting was opened with the song "Nearer my God to thee ' and a moving prayer by Mr. W\ II. Hong. Tho audience numbered about 100. Mr. M. ,1. Granger had his name withdrawn by Mr. Waller, for the reason that Mr. Hong succeeded in obtaining the caucus nomination. During his reply to Mr. Session, Mr. A1 ford said that lie wished the office of Sheriff to be bob I by one who couhl do its duties creditably, and one whom the p< oplc nc/'/f /<<?' fx ashatned >>J. Mr. Derbam and Mr. Cooper covered about their usual grounds. Both called attention to the fact that caucus nominations are not binding, Mr. Derhani finished with the following personal explanation: lie had heard that there was an afliadavit in the hands of some person on tlu canvass which stated that the Tillinanites tried at the last election to make a political trade with Republicans of tho county. "The Tillmanites," he said, "have authorized no one to make a trade with any person or parties. I was at the Republican Convention acting as reporter foi the Charleston World. 1 don't remember whether ?nether white vuan was there or not. Many things i false were said of (iov. Tillmnn 91 till **,,v I asked in justice to him to make u talk ami correct them." ?r" Needham Gause was present to\ day. With him Mr. Derhatn held n \ lollK consultation. \ A letter from Mr. F. R. lleaty, candidate for the nomination of Auditor was read by Mr. Johnson. I'he meeting was very quiet. Hickman, Aug, 10,?About 125 people, of whom 10 or 12 were ladies gathered on the second Hour of the cotton house here to day to heai the,county canvassers. Tho day was Vr ^ y very warm and the speakers were correspondingly cool. The usual ground was passed ovci by the candidates, reviewing the history of the Conservative movement, and a few of the state issues, presumably more to show speakers, familiarity with them than to accomplish any direct results. The feature of the day was a prohibition speech by Rev. I). N. Gore. For the first time during the canvass this subject has been brought up. As it now stands, this question of liquor or no liquor is obscured almost completely by others. It is hardly fair to have the people of tho county vote on this, while other issues keep it forced down out of public thought. Mr. (lore's speech was highly complimented on all sides. 'Plin nillini'il V r.f llin <nwl iotum Conservatives. Gukhn Ska, Aug II,?Ninetentlis of the hundred men who gathered here to day were said to bo Tillnianites. The audience was very quiet. A brand new bundle ofColunib:a Registers were scattered through tlio crowd. From Greenwood on, those papers have been assiduously circulated. They are presumably sample copies. 1IO Mr. Derham contradicted the statement* made by Mr. Cooper, that the present Administration had spent *36,000 mor than tho previous "In one instance, alone," h?' answered "the present AdministruI tion has paid a debt of *50,000 conj tractcd by the former one ' After the candidates, Mr. II* M. Anderson asked to speak a word or so. The gist of his remarks were |"l voted for Tillman last year from j (iov. to Cororner and am going to do so again." lie wanted it distinct i ly understood ho was not remaining , ; for Trial Justice.

A slight rain began to fall just as the meeting was called to order; but it soon pass, ed off. Today's was the largest crowd the candidates have so far faced. About 150 men were present. Mr. Cieorge M. Johnson wns absent to day for the Grsttime. A letter stating some of his family was sick called him home. Mr. Lewis added to his usual re marks that he was in favor of ha v. ing a primary to elect the county Board of Kcpiali/ation; in the same way that Mr.Bruham wished to have j the trustees elected in the school j j uisinns, Mr. Stalvey toKl us he was too honest to ask any one opposed to him to vote for hint in the primary; that those who think as he does he can more readily call upon. Mr. Cooper said during his speech UI have never heard any of Tillman men indorsed by the Conservatives say that they wanted us to vote for them.'' lie was speaking on l/oacc and Harmony When Mr. Derhain arose he was asucd if he wanted the Conservative* to support him. He, possibly remembering his opposition, said "Vou' may vote for me if you want to. and if not, you can let it alone. The Tillmanites laughed and the Consorvasives smiled. Ho then reviewed , his relation to the Conservative caucus. UI was placed at the head of tkeir ticket without my knolodge or ? consent, I was waited to address the meeting and did so. 1 cravo w O , them my politics, telling them 1 was a Tillman man ami thanked them for the honor conferred upon mo." There has been a report said Mr. , Durham that the "Senators wish to , make the County responsible for its bonded officers." He asked the , crcwd, but no one seemed to have heard the report before. "1 am nut , pledged," he answeied, "to anything of that kind; the people must decide." Bayhoko, Aug. 15.?A larger ( crowd than Friday's tit Floyds gathered hero to-day seeking political light. Between 175 and 200 men . were present?about 25 of whom were negroes. , Tl" nrogrmn to day began at the , tail of the ticket. Between two of I the earlier speeches, Chairman Wa terman Booth made a short Till man speech on "pledges," and asked the candidates to exjiress themselves ^ upon tiieso articles. Some of them did and some of them didn't. Squire Mishoc became very jolly over the repeal of the lien law. His hand primary resulted in six or seven voting?one or two that it was n help and live that it was a harm. Mr. Johnson made a good and , conservative talk. Mr. Cooper's speech was very well received. His arguments Jseem somewhat troublesome to the opposition. Mr. Durham attacked Mr. Johnson for standing squarely upon the National Democratic I Mat form containing as it defls a whiskey plank. As his|own position! on prohibition, Mr. I)erham stated ho would abide the decision of the primary. The candidates having finished, Mr. Booth, of Poplar, chairman, stated that gentlemen wishing to speak on Prohibition would ho recognized. Before any one responded, Mr. Scarborough took the stand to explain these "pledges," so called. He explained them to ilie satisfaction of any fair minded person and started t<> tiiu tnaf IT.i uii.f 11~'l I- ? ...w ..U?v> I 1U !<<?-> I WUIIIl'U (U iWI swer some questions. He was then plied on nil sides with all kinds of inquiries, even as to his educational qualification. Mr. Scarborough said the heading was written hy himself in accordance with his own views of what a club roll should state, and was circulated hy the gentlemen for w hom he prepared it in good faith, without any wish to take unfair advantages; that in his judgement each club should in some form declare its principles, and in preparing the papers referred to, he merely outlined the principles of the Conservatives. f .. ' . RUY HERALD Now, tho licv. A. M. Dusenbury, Uev. ][. (). Grainger and Mr. J. Bryant made short Prohibition speeches. Although Mr. Scarborough had been ruled off the s'und at the regular meeting, hid friends prevailed upon him to address the audience, who all still stood about. Mr. Scarborough mounted the store piazza and after stating that there was free admission to the road to those who did4not wish to hear him, made a strong plea for united nomocracy in Horry, lie was interrupted a great manv times, mostly with very impertinent questions. Many of the questions though had the mark of good sense, hut all sought to entangle and disconcert the speaker. But Mr. S\('!trl?<trrMUrli \v*?u iinnal Ia aoomo FVV??. VV* VU^n V.< |V?Ui iuv; uottv^ * ion. His quick wit and pleasant manner entirely disarmed the question mongers; and his earnest, sensible statement of the facts in the case went home to many minds and set many a one to thinking on the situation as lie has not thought before. Though the crowd to-day was estimated at two thirds for Tillman, the Conservatives expect to carry a much larger percentage in the township thai, one third.

The Col's, character!/,a tion of Tillman's Richardson charge, while answering a question of Mr. Derhani's, as ' another of Tillman's lies nailed," almost resulted in a row. ; Hut things were quieted and the 1 Col. proceeded. After listening a while the Tillmauitcs began to run, Mr. Waller, who is stumping the county for the Coronor's office, stood up in his buggy and asked the boys to "conic off and let him talk on." The crowd quietly dispersed and the candidates set out for Dog lilnlT. J. O.

We are glad J to state that no per cont of the Tillmanites of Horry are made of putty but on the other hand the are off the same goods as the man who would suffer his head pulled off and sold rather than sacrifice principle for policy. This is charging no one directly with seemingly assuming the authority of king and attempting to convert the J.ittle Independent Republic of Horry into an Absolute Monarchy | BIT. And dont they plead fervently for peace and unity? .Some of The llcrrulds correspondents ask as innocently as the little girl asked the ofiinded mother for the switch? she had for another pupose?to make tooth brushes.

But it is natural foi the I thick shinned sheep who jumped the f? nee and left the fold than to bleat piteously buck to the still tlock b it we dont seem to follow now who should do the coming over?

Dkau Eiutok: Allow us u little space in your columns, and indulge us a short time, and we will tell you a few things which have been turning over in our minds for a few days. Now that our country is in the 1.1- --- ? i 1 iiiMisu ?>i iruuuie, it11<i c.lOHHiy ;ij?proximiititit; financial ruin, is absolutely certain, and that we very much need relief, and speedy assistance all will agree, but how to oh tain this much desired end, in an honest, safe, and honorable manner is tlie onigina unsolved, as yet, and it is the hieroglyphic .vriting a key to the reading of which, few of our political scholars have yet furnished ' us-, but our people up here think that we have the means yet at our [ command by which our noble Old Commonwealth car. be elevated to her foraier state of prosperity and independence. We are men, and as such have rights and one of those is the right to choose, and to bo cho| son to oflice. This means, when properly construed, concentrating of strength, and uniting of effort in or.1.... i ~ M.. - : ... r . I l I UII iu IIIU OUJiyillg mil 1)1 III!' WIJSIK'H of our people, and legislating for the good of all. Now, the momentous question which confront us, just here is, how can this be done? Well some very nice, and perhaps, good men too, will suggest Reform; that is, the organization of a reform or new political party?setting forth a new platform, with a railroad plank, Sub treasury or cheap money plank, etc., and others will say the Domo cracy and others the Republican parties, one for high tariff and the other for reform. Rut hero we wish to ask our check money friends, how or in what respect can tho Sub-treasury plan do us any good? Wo are already in debt, and now in order to get out shall we make new notes with additional collateral. You soe my follow citizens, this is not paying the debt. Remember that the currency of tho United States of America, as it now is, is based upon her revenues, and as such, does not cost you nor I anything. It does not increase our taxes nor enhance nor depreciate, materially the property of the masses of people. Then do any, with our present system, and adopt the sub treasury plan, and what will yon have done? why simply this, you will first ascertain the amount desired in order to inflate to the desired maximum, then you go to work and in a sense make a new note secured or backed up by the real estate and available products of the country. Thus you have a money of your own, base 1 upon all that you are or can be worth. The Uni ted States of America never has made any such demand upon you, and then are you out of debt, although you may have so originated your money? Mow long will it require for the general government; millionaire and speculators to own the principal portion of your property? Think of it, and think seriously and sensibly before you cast your ballots. Now what wo all need is good, wise and truo men to legislate for us, this is no time to quarrel and strive, and seek to ruin each other. Let the good and true peo pie of dear old Ilorry como together before the olcction and elect our best and wisest men, men who will begin at the cause, effect a cure by removing the cause. Wo are will ing on our part to head the list of government oflichls to manage this critical matter for us, with tho t-?ame of Ex-President Cleveland for President of our United States, Ex Governor Shoppard for Governor of our State, and for Congress, our dear and well tried .leremifih Smith, and we shall CAst our vote for Mr. Der AUGUST 18, ] ham for Senator ami for Uncle J110. 1C Cooper for the lower house in the honorable legion* tire, and then we expect to fill up the list with men of | the same stripe as nearly as possible. We are not ashamed nor afraid of the men we have here suggested. We have heard them speak and talked sensibly and did not curse nor use any obscene languurge while addressing us. We want sound, sensible men able to represent the voters of S. (J., and as South Carolina claims to be a State made lip of civilized people, we think she ought to have a man and set of men of this class to represent her. We are going to do as we say, and when you want to hear from us let us know. Yours very obediently, Hardtack Louis. The ruins have stopped and the sun is shining warm.
